Every Sunday B and I head out to
Moss Landing to pick up our veggies. I was happily surprised to find a new store full of shell heaven right next door, so I had to take a look. One of the things I liked about this shop is that they have the scientific name attached to each bin, so it was also an educational experience. It's always fun to spot new little shops like this one and since it is off Highway one, you have to make sure you make a quick decision and pull of the road to check it out.
The store did not have a name or physical address that I could notice but it is basically between Monterey and Watsonville.
I hope this is helpful : Highway 1, Moss Landing, CA 95039-9667 in case you ever find yourself driving down from Santa Cruz or up from Monterey. And if you are ever in Morro Bay don't forget to stop by this shop I recommended here.

so pretty, these images- especially the starfish.
ReplyDeletemy dad would take me shell shopping when visiting my aunt in florida. to my young ocean-loving self, it was the best thing ever. i would spend ages in that huge store! i think it's still there...
What a collection these would make. I have one shell. A very large conch shell a spiritual brother gave me in the Turks & Caicos.
ReplyDeleteyou make me feel gloriously Shell-fish!

Oh! We will have to see if we can find it the next time we head down to Monterey. Have you been to Capitola yet?
